== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
RNA interference has tremendously advanced our understanding of gene function but recent reports have exposed undesirable side-effects. Recombinant Camelid single-domain antibodies (VHHs) provide an attractive means for studying protein function without affecting gene expression. We raised VHHs against gelsolin (GsnVHHs), a multifunctional actin-binding protein that controls cellular actin organization and migration. GsnVHH-induced delocalization of gelsolin to mitochondria or the nucleus in mammalian cells reveals distinct subpopulations including free gelsolin and actin-bound gelsolin complexes. GsnVHH 13 specifically recognizes Ca(2+)-activated gelsolin (K (d) approximately 10 nM) while GsnVHH 11 binds gelsolin irrespective of Ca(2+) (K (d) approximately 5 nM) but completely blocks its interaction with G-actin. Both GsnVHHs trace gelsolin in membrane ruffles of EGF-stimulated MCF-7 cells and delay cell migration without affecting F-actin severing/capping or actin nucleation activities by gelsolin. We conclude that VHHs represent a potent way of blocking structural proteins and that actin nucleation by gelsolin is more complex than previously anticipated. | |||
